There has been no decision made to cancel or postpone the WGC this year. There also seems to be no word from the SSA about the nationals. Anyone know anything?

WGC at Stendal has been cancelled (postponed to 2011) today, together
with all other competitions in Germany.

Got a direct link? The latest one I find is from 2020-3-31.

BTW: I'm from Germany and took part in the conference call on
2020-3-26 where the German Aero Club (DAeC) decided to cancel all FAI
competitions in Germany in 2020. Do you have more current information?
The official announcement of the DAeC is dated 2020-4-3.

Cheers
Andreas

WGC's in Germany and France postponed to 2021.There is consideration of the possibility of shifting the entire schedule back one year. More on this when it is resolved.

Thank you very much!

Moving all events ahead one year is the thing that is done all over
Europe, and I think it's a good idea. If other countriesfollowed,
things would stay synchronized at least (in Germany we have a two year
interval of major competitions which act as qualifications for WGC's
and EGC's).

I wasn't involved in the final decicion about the WGC, but in the
discussion leading to that decision one major point was that it
probably would be problematic to ship the gliders across the borders.


Stay safe!
Andreas
